Foxe Chance As Gregan Left Behind

Last updated : 13 July 2006 By Kevin Markey
A passport mix-up forced Kevin Blackwell to leave Gregan at home so Foxe will line up against FK Sparta Sarpsborg in Leeds' 2-match Scandinavia tour.

Gregan was left stranded in Yorkshire after failing to renew his passport.

Leeds had hoped the 32-year-old's application would be processed in time for him to join up in Norway later this week, but a current backlog is likely to prevent him from receiving his new passport before Leeds' second and final tour match against FK Ulf Sandnes on Monday.

Foxe will now have a great opportunity to take another step towards securing a permanent contract at Elland Road.

Gregan will now instead lead a reserve side in Saturday's friendly at Scarborough.
